CMS 341 LECTURE 8 EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED
CORRECT ANSWERS!!
What are the four elements that shape our experience when communicating via CMC?
anonymity, presence, mobility, and asynchronicity
Anonymity
Being anonymous allows users to feel more free to possibly say and do things they wouldn't
normal do
Runs along a continuum
What is the continuum of anonymity?
Identifiability (knowing one's name or location, having a photo of them)
Pseudonymity (having a photo, but not knowing one's name)
Full Anonymity (lack of name, location, and photo; only have communication method)
Presence
a feeling one has that they are immersed in the communication medium
Mobility
having mobile devices used to communicate influences our communication
-Allows for shorter messages
-More likely to be meaner
Asynchronicity
lack of "real time" communication; allows for flexibility and control
Social Presence
focuses on the psychological proximity, closeness, and connection with another person
through the medium in a relationship dynamic
, Ambient Presence
The awareness that other people are around you, willing to be a communication
partner Ex. Cellphones; Facebook showing you who is online while you are online
Networked Anonymity
produced when actors' identities are removed from a pre-existing network while leaving
the structure of the network in place and leaving visible the edges' attributes
Article B: Anonymity Network (Sharon & John, 2018)
The two answers they concluded as to why anonymity sites (ex. Secret) are used by people
was first because they were bored and second was they wanted entertainment
What is important to learn from this is not based on the fault of technology, but rather on us as
humans in a society where people are uncomfortable to speak their truth. They alternatively
come to applications like Secret or Yik-Yak to feel more comfortable with their thoughts, which
makes them inherently lose trust with those around them like family, friends, colleagues, etc. As
a result, they are subject to humiliation, cyber-bulling, and hate speech, which was the complete
opposite purpose of such technology
Identity
